Happy Easter!!

We had a wonderful Easter weekend! It was such a sweet weekend with friends and family and a time to be so thankful for Jesus and his death AND resurrection. The festivities started on Thursday as we headed to Building Blocks at Watermark with the Selfs. First the moms stuffed eggs and had a quick 'talk' then we went to get the older kids for a fun easter egg hunt. It was cold and rainy outside, so the hunt was moved inside...
Sweet girl...trying to figure out this whole 'hunting for eggs' thing.

On Saturday, the Selfs joined us at The Heights for our Easter Celebration. There were inflatables, animals and hunts... When we arrived all the kids matched!! SO CUTE! So we HAD to get a picture of all of them! :)
I love this picture of Berkley and her Daddy!

It was impossible to get a picture of all of the kids looking at the camera. Here is the cutest 'action' shot.


"And they're off!" They looked so cute when they were able to get eggs...we had to remind Brookelynn to pick up the egg and put it in her basket. Her plan was to pick up the egg, break it open, throw the candy in the bag and drop the egg back on the ground. I must say, I was impressed that we was able to do all of that with one hand!



After the girls filled their baskets they thought it was a race to see who could eat their candy the fastest!

After the egg hunt we headed to the petting zoo. It was the cutest one I had ever seen. There were so many baby animals! Baby bunnies, baby chicks, baby goats and baby ducks.


We also headed to the 'death trap'!! Brookelynn and Brynn had so much fun in the bounce house and on this huge slide! UNTIL...Brookelynn almost busted her head open! As she walked to the end of the slide she tripped and fell head first on to the concrete. The entire crowd gasped as she fell and I was able to catch her as her head hit the ground. My heart stopped. Thankfully she was ok! She is my little trooper! I am so thankful that she did not get hurt.

When we got home Gigi and Chief were there! Gigi got the girls the cutest swimsuits...so they modeled them for us.


Sunday we went to church with my family and had a great day!
Our best attempt at a family picture...

The whole gang...

Our first Easter at our house...in our new dining room. I loved it! We also had dinner in there on Saturday night. Special memories!
